In this free webinar, Laura Saunders and Melissa Wong discuss adult learning theories and how to tap into learners’ motivation and knowledge.
Originally presented April 16, 2025
Most learning theories and the instructional design practices derived from them are based on our understanding of how children learn. Adult learners come to instruction with more extensive and varied experiences and social roles, which impact their needs and should influence our instruction.
Join Laura Saunders and Melissa Wong for this webinar on andragogy. They discuss the theory of andragogy, or adult learning, including constructivist and humanist approaches to teaching adults, along with strategies for tapping into their intrinsic motivation and building on prior knowledge.
